CHANGING THE WORLD ONE CHILD AT A TIME!
Imani Orphan Care is a registered Canadian Charity, a registered Kenya NGO, and we are also registered with the IRS 501 (c) (3) in the United States. Imani cares for children who come to us from desperate conditions and we provide them with tools to escape severe poverty. We do this with a Godly upbringing in a safe and loving home, and also through education.
Imani Orphan Care exists to help children that have been abandoned by their families, orphaned or rescued from unhealthy situations.
Our goal is to raise the next generation of Kenyan leaders by helping them to pursue excellence through education and practical skills as well as helping our kids to become people with integrity so that each child will be a responsible citizen of Kenya.
We are blessed to offer disadvantaged children the opportunity to gain tools, skills and knowledge, so that they can create a better future for themselves. A sustainable approach that transforms lives.
You can be a part of this CHANGE by becoming a child sponsor for one of our children in care. As an Imani sponsor, the difference you make is life rather than death and hope instead of despair. Please consider becoming a child sponsor today, our kids are counting on YOU.

Can I make a one-time donation?
Yes, there are many projects and daily needs within an orphanage that need immediate funding.
Can I write a cheque for an entire year of sponsorship?
Yes, in order to set this up please contact info@imaniorphancare.com. You are still able to choose a child or children that you would like to support for a year or you can have us choose a child for you.
Can I correspond with my child?
Yes, you are able to correspond by writing to your child/children. You can simply mail your letter to Imani Orphan Care and we will be sure that your letter reaches your sponsored child. There are also travel opportunities available to visit your sponsored child in Kenya. If this is of interest to you please contact us at info@imaniorphancare.com.
Can these children be adopted?
Adoption is a great way to help orphaned children however this process is not an easy one and it is not always a reliable one. It is hard to understand why adopting a child has to be such a long uncertain process. To understand this process better please contact your provincial adoption agency as they have the knowledge required to make this adoption process happen. Even if all of the world’s 163,000,000 orphaned children were able to be eligible for adoption there just are not enough people who want to adopt or who can afford the adoption process.
Thankfully we have the opportunity through sponsorship to give these children a better life and future. This is the best alternative that we presently have to help the orphaned children in the world.
Can $40/ month really provide what an orphaned child needs?
In developing countries, yes. The funds for child sponsorship go directly towards providing for shelter, food, clothing, education, spiritual instruction, and medical needs of the children in care through Imani.
Am I the only sponsor that my child has?
To completely cover the monthly costs associated with each child in care, a total of 4 sponsors per child is required for those living at Imani Home of Love. Only one sponsor per child is needed for children who are apart of Imani's Outreach program who are supported with education and hygiene/food needs so that they can remain living with their widowed moms.
What happens to my sponsored child after graduation from high school?
We work hard with each child to put together an education plan best suited to their needs. Imani Orphan Care’s goal is to have our kids reach their full potential becoming competent educated adults able to support themselves.
How much of my sponsorship goes to my child?
Your child will receive $40.00/month of your support.
How much of my monthly support goes to admin fees?
Imani Orphan Care admin fees are 0%. Imani covers admin fees through fundraising events and designated donations to cover these expenses.
Will I receive a tax receipt for my donation?
Yes, Imani Orphan Care Foundation is a registered Canadian Charity allowing us to issue tax receipts to Canadian donors.
